Doyou have dull, heavy headache, obstruction
of the nasal passages discharges falling from
the mead INTO t1e lhroat, solnetilnes pro!use'
mucous, purulent bloody and putrid; eyes weak,
watery, and infiamed; ringing in the ears, deaf
ness, hacking or coughing to clear the throat,
expectoration of offensive matter, together with
scabs from ulcers; voice changed and nasal
twang; breath offensive; smell and taste impaired;
is there sensation of dizziness, with mental
depression, a hacking cough and general debility
If you have all, or any considerable number of
these symptoms, you are suffering from nasal
catarrh. The complicated your disease
has become. the greater the number and
diversity or symptoms. Thousands of cases
annually, without manifesting half of the above
symptoms, result in consumption, and end in
the grave. No disease is so common, more
deceptive and dangerous, or less understood, or
more unsuccessfully treated by physicians.
The manufacturers of DR.. Sage's catarrh
remedy offer, in good faith, a reward of $500
for CT this disease which they cannot
cure. The remedy is sold by druggists, at only
so cents.

Protection to American industries against
foreign pauper labor, to American shipping and
commerce against foreign subsidized steamship
lines, to American homes against the saloon,
and to the institutions that Americans hold dear
est, against imported Anarchists-these are the
living issues on which the Republican party can
regain national power with absolute certainty

Qncer Smuggling Devices.

In Parts there exists an interesting
museum. Since the existance of the
octroi dues which are levied upon a
gaeat variety of articles, a good many
people who in other regards are prob
ably honest enough are induced to en-
deayor to defraud the revenue. In
this museum are kept some scores Of
the most clever devices Of professional
or amateur slnugglers which haye from
time to time been seized at the barriers
of the city or at the custom houses
throughout the country. Most of them
are exceedingly ingenious, aud some
are indeed, of nature to suggest that
in France even smugglers possess wit.
What appears at causual glance to
be u block of Carrara marble is really
painted sheet iron box. 1t arrived at
the frontier in train from Italy, along
with FIVE similar ones. A curious de-
preston on one Of the blocks aroused
the suspicious of custom house OIL
Gals age, upon official examination the
trick was discovered. The boxes were
filled with ballast to make them heavy
and at the bottom Of each lay $4,000 OF
Venetian lace. A pile Of innocent
looking logs of frewood such as are
burned in Paris, were found to be hol-
low metal tubes, covered with the bark
Of trees, and filled with dutiable liq-
uors. But the most amusing article IN
the collection is a tin fOotman who for
.nerly graced the box Of stylish equl-
page which passed through the gates
every afternoon, bearing the emlnency
respectable and gentlcmanly owner on
his daily drive. For while the Gus
toms officers went through the form
searching the carriage or asking for du-
table wares, but when it became APP
parent that the owner was SIMPLY
gentleman out for an airing with
stately coachman, and an impassive,
stupid footman, they took TO touching
their caps and allowing the turnout 70
pass unquestioned. One day, after sew
eral months of this friendly Gaping,
Jolt threw the lootman to the ground
before the eyes Of the officers, who has.
tened, in honor to stay the fast flowing
blood Of the unfortunate lackey. The
blood turned out to be champagne and
the injured footnlan II TIN case, IN which
the master Of the carriage had been
smuggling for months.

The Difference.

What Il difference there is between u
man and woman in regard to wearing
OF old OR new clothes. A wom-
an is always ready for new clothes
and scarcely has she one new dress
made and ready t. wear before she Is
hooking for another. 1t may be that
there is Il delight and fascination IN
looking over the new materials and IN
perintendins or making Il new dress
after having consulted all of the latest
pattern fashions and studied them in Or
der to ascertain not only which is the
latest fashion, but which would be the
most becoming to her room and style Of
beauty. You scarcely ever find WON.
An who likes an old dress or an old bon
net or well worn pair Of shoes because
they are comfortable, while a man will
stick to an old suit of clothes for years
and IL pair Of shoes until they will hard
y hold together, simply because they
are comfortable. As for hats, what
man likes to give upa comfortably feel
ing hat for a new oDe-none but dudes
and men who want to be fashionable.
Sec how long in the fall many men
wear their light aud easy hats to the
head. And as for stove pipes or high
black hats, just watch as you 90 along
the street and see how many are last
falls and many falls back in style.
After all con- fort is better than fash
ion and there is no doubt but that the
comfortable people are happlest, and :
man away from home IN pair Of tight
boots OF u new pair Of shoes is Il very
unhappy and uncomfortable individu
u compared to the jolly fellow who cal
un and catch train on his uppers.
